Housatonic River Initiative

HRI: Working for a fishable, swimmable river since 1992.

Housatonic River Initiative belongs to the Waterkeeper® Alliance

Waterkeeper Alliance is the international center of a network of Waterkeeper programs. The Alliance approves new Waterkeeper programs, licenses the use of the Waterkeeper names, represents the individual Waterkeepers on issues of national interest, and serves as a meeting place for all the Waterkeepers to exchange information, strategy and know-how. The Alliance and its member Waterkeeper groups meet at least once a year, rotating between regions, and communicates regularly in the interim.

Thanks to Current and past Funders who support HRI's work:
